Liverpool team news: Young prodigy set for debut against Plymouth in FA Cup

HARRY WILSON was left out of Liverpool's U23 side to face Manchester United tonight.

The 19-year-old has been in phenomenal form this season with 19 goals and nine assists for Liverpool's under-23s.

Back in 2003 he made Welsh football history by becoming the youngest ever player to turn out for his country at the tender age of 16 years, 207 days.

And despite the U23 side facing a crucial match against Manchester United tonight, Wilson was left out of the squad, sparking speculation Jurgen Klopp has called him up to the first-team squad to face Plymouth on Wednesday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has made the transition from the Liverpool academy to the first team

Klopp has not been afraid to use players from the academy this season with Trent Alexander-Arnold earning his first Premier League start in yesterday's draw with United.

But despite Wilson's early promise at a young age, he has been overlooked by past managers.

But Liverpool academy coach Mike Garrity believes the 19-year-old is capable of being the next product from Melwood to represent the first team.

“At this moment in time, Harry is in a really good place,” Garrity told the Liverpool Echo.

“He’s working really hard, he is working for the team and he wants to get better and impress our manager.

“Harry knows the next step for him is to get to Melwood on a regular basis. He has been there this season again but to do it all of the time is the main incentive.

“He is going the right way about it and if he keeps scoring goals, getting assists and working hard for the team then it will give him the best possible chance of achieving that. He has just got to keep his feet on the ground.”
